    You don't scare me... I've got chunks of guy's like you in my stool!

    Too late... I'll sell it to you for $1600+shipping?

    I just called him and offered $1350.

    Why do you always gotta 'let the air out of my balloon'?

    Probably becuase of the close proximity of the sync. tooth? I would really appreciate an unbiased opinion of the 882. This thread isn't the place for it though. If you get around to it, can you PM or email me your opinion, likes & dislikes? ron@primeems.com I'll find out in a couple weeks what I think of them. You like them so far?

    What application? If you're speaking of a 280Z, yes you can fool it into delivering more fuel (but not timing). Its 'control' is limited though. A better route, is to fool the coolant temp sensor. Adding resistance will give you a substantial increase in fuel quantity. Also, any increase will be very linear. Later cars are a bit trickier, because they are closed loop and continually learning. Richen things up a bit, and the ECM will eventually lean it back.

    Tim, I love the simplicity... great idea! Mr. Kurzahls if referring to this scratchbuilt 'cam' sensor, utilizing the stock distributor shaft (no crank sensor needed)... . . . John, I ended up using longer wire's than originally planned... .

    I'm sure its more complicated than this... the radiator is a restriction... it should cause a 'pressure drop', and concurrently an increase in drag.

    Easy there... every one has bad day's... even me Group hug?

    Limitless possibilities... how big is your imagination?

    Dtsnlvrs, Very coincidentally, you beat me to the punch (regarding boundary layer)... Does what I wrote hold any water, in your experience?
  17. RTz
    Dave, I'll take a stab at this (thats all it will be). Generally, heat is transfered to air at the surface. For example, our weather comes from the sun heating the surface, the surface heating the air, the air becoming lighter and rising, etc, etc. The boundary layer is largely stagnant, yes? If you heated the surface enough, the boundary air would heat and rise, potentially upsetting the boundary layer. My guess, though, is that its 'no factor' in our automobile.

    I think everyone agrees... there is a high pressure zone at the windshield base/cowl. But, the question is, is there a *higher* pressure under the hood? In my limited experience, there is. As was mentioned, its relative.

    Sure do Nice job Tim!

    Here's a series of photo's taken with a P&S Olympus C8080... the camera I ditched before buying the D70. It looks like HE figured out how to make it work http://www.jessespeer.com/photography/photo_journal/2004_06_TetonGlacier/index.html

    Good stuff!

    Yes Mike... you should BTW, inquiring minds want to see a few samples of your work?!?!? P.S. When do you suppose digital medium format will hit the market?

    You captured my best side

    A word of caution with that style... all the engine (and some transmission) loads will now be acting on the frame rails. In the stock configuration, the crossmember handles the bulk of the (engine) loads, avoiding nearly all of the stress on the frame rails. If you're going to use that style of mount, I would recommend structural reinforcement of the rails.

    ...and I thought you were gonna discount the ISO noise?
